History
Roy Harrington MacKenzie (ca. 1917-1989), son of druggist Edwin Sutherland MacKenzie (1883-1961) of New Glasgow, N.S., began his photographic career in 1941 in the former Rice Studio located near the Norfolk Hotel in New Glasgow. In 1942 Reid Dennison joined the business and it was relocated to the Underwood Building under the name, Dennison and MacKenzie, Commercial Photo Finishers. In 1947 MacKenzie bought Dennison's shares in the business and moved into the floor above his father's new pharmacy at 131 Provost Street. The business operated as Roy MacKenzie's Photographic Sales and Services and MacKenzie Studios, Photographic Studio and Suppliers. In 1976 he sold his business to C. Barry MacKay, formerly of Pridham's Studios in New Glasgow, in order to run his late father's company E.S. MacKenzie Ltd. In 1979 MacKay sold out to Robert Murray, who continued studio work under the name of MacKay Photography Ltd. and photofinishing and sales under Murray Photography Ltd.
